Year Released
Released January 1, 2024. This figure debuted in the first CMF wave of 2024, characterized by the debut of the scanable data matrix codes on the cardboard packaging as seen in the image.
Rarity
Common (Current Release). Distribution is technically even at 3 figures per full case of 36, but high demand for animal-suit figures makes him a 'chase' figure for many.
Head
Features a light-flesh tone head with a determined, smiling expression and sweaty brow on one side, and a worried expression on the reverse. Includes a unique olive-green Triceratops head/hat mold with tan horns.
Torso
Dark green torso with yellowish-green reptilian belly printing. Back printing continues the scale pattern. Includes dark green arms and olive green hands.
Legs
Dark green legs with yellowish-green print on the toes and mid-section to match the torso belly. No side leg printing.
Accessories
Includes a dark green tail attachment that fits between the torso and legs, and a black 3x4 stand plate. No handheld weapons or tools are included.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Olive Green and Dark Green, with Tan accents for the horns and Yellow-Green for the underside belly printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the CMF line. The transition of the belly pattern from the torso to the legs is well-aligned. The data matrix code shown (6623272 / 119S6) is specifically linked to identify this figure.
Variants
No production variants currently exist; however, the packaging has two variants (small vs. large scan codes). This image shows the larger scannable code used in later production runs.
Condition Notes
The tail piece can cause a slight gap between the torso and hips; check for stress marks. The cardboard box in the image is prone to crushing or tearing during scanning attempts.
Estimated Value
New (in open box): $5.00 - $7.00 USD. Used: $4.00 - $5.00 USD. Value is stable due to high current supply.
Price (New)
Retail price is $4.99 USD per blind box. The price-per-part ratio is excellent due to the unique dinosaur head and tail molds.

Character Background
This is a 'suit guy'—a person dressed in a dinosaur costume. This sub-group of CMF figures (Costume Suit Collectibles) is among the most popular sub-niches in the LEGO hobby.
Design Notes
The scale texture on the headpiece is highly detailed. It follows in the footsteps of the T-Rex Suit Fan (Series 24) and the Dragon Suit Guy (Series 18).
Similar Minifigures
T-Rex Suit Fan (col24-1), Dragon Suit Guy (col18-7), Dino Guy (Series 13).
Collectibility
High demand among 'Suit' collectors. While common now, costume figures historically appreciate well once the series is retired.
History
Represents the evolution of LEGO dinosaur representation from the molded creatures of 'Dino' to the 'human-in-disguise' aesthetic that began in the early 2010s.
Interesting Facts
The code 119S6 on the box indicates it was produced in the 19th week of 2024 in factory S (Mexico). This larger code allows fans to use apps to identify the figure without opening the box.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Series 25 figures or in a 'Museum' MOC as an enthusiast or park mascot. UV protection is vital for the dark green plastics.
Modification Potential
The head and tail are frequently used by MOC builders to create custom anthropomorphic dinosaur characters or 'Lizard Man' variants.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure of Series 25 due to its unique molds and vibrant green tones. Highly recommended for fans of the 'Suit' sub-theme. Desirability score: 8/10.
